I'm a Canadian 8th Grade student and I have a upcoming math timed math exam in late January to enter into a prestigious high school program. However, there is practically no information on how to prepare for this exam, so I decided to just generally learn/review math on Khan Academy(which is the best online learning platform in my opinion). I'm not 100% sure of this but I heard(and have noticed myself) that Khan Academy math elementary courses are 1 grade more advanced than the Canadian math curriculum for that grade. From what little material I have to prepare, the questions seem pretty hard(though this was back when you had to hand in a handwritten math exercise and got as much time as you want to work on it rather than a timed math-exam) and Gr.9(Khan Gr.8) level or even Khan high school level.

I only have about 20 days to prepare and 2 Khan Academy courses to get through. How do I "speedrun" or quickly but very effectively make the most of these courses. I also might have to take segments of high school courses.

Also, will just reading Khan articles affect your learning? Reading articles definitely allows me to grasp the concept much faster.

Tips and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

This is probably too late to be of any help to you, so sorry about that, but if other people have a similar question, I hope this helps them!

Here are some tips on the fastest way to finish a Khan Academy course: you should start by taking the Course Challenge to see what you need to review, then go into the units that you didn't get as high scores in (you may have to take the Course Challenge multiple times in order to test all the units) and take the Unit Test. If you don't understand a certain concept, use the videos, articles, exercises, and quizzes to review it. (To answer your question about the articles, watching videos and reading articles don't give you Mastery points, but they can help you understand the concept better, which is more important.) When you feel like you can do all the problems in the Unit Test and/or you are getting them mostly right, move on to the next unit.

I hope that you did well on your exam and that this helps anyone looking for similar info!

For any future users wanting to kind of full clear Kindergarten to Grade 8 Courses and beyond+ (so 100%) them, what I'd recommend is to do the "Quizzes" in each unit and then move on to the "Unit Test". You'd have to do the unit test 2-4+ times to get "Mastery" on specific topics. But if you do the Quiz -> Unit Test method, you get to become "Proficient" in the topics both literally (like you get to go through specific parts of the Unit to make sure you understand the Math) and the grading on Khan Academy.

After you get "Proficiency" in topics, you move on to the Unit Test as it recommends, and then you can get full-clear the unit. If any faster/more efficient methods are found by me, I'll update this.

But doing Unit Tests and Course Challenges aren't as effective at full-clearing. They are good at identifying weaknesses in your knowledge and understanding fast though.

I need to get to 90 by Mar. 31 and I am really struggling with leveling up - it takes forever once you get past 70% :((((
